Description
It could be very handy to have not filters for all available filters. Just like is null-is not null and is equal-is not equal. When filtering text columns could be very handy to have no contains cause you may not know all possible values but do know those you don't want. I see how this can be troublesome enlarging the numbers of filters listed, so I thought that adding a checkbox when for is not(or does not) filtering could help. This checkbox could also be added to the filter bar along with the filter.

Research direction
Start in the Data Explorer's existing filter controls, especially the is null and is equal filters and the filter bar mentioned in the issue. Trace how text-column contains filtering is represented; done means users can apply inverse filtering, including no contains, without making the available filter choices unwieldy.
